Zend: ensure you use Zend 2.6.2 or higher. We will tell you how to install the NATS Zend license after we install NATS

Ioncube: (preferred) ensure the "enable_dl" setting is turned on in php.ini

Server Requirements

NATS requires a Web-accessible domain. It should be the domain you plan
on using permanently. For example: nats.example.com. Your domain must
be Web-accessible before we start installing NATS.

We also require secure shell (SSH) access. Please give us access to the
same account you use to log in to the server. The account must be
allowed to create files and folders in your user directory and replace
the Apache VirtualHost directory with a symlink to your user directory.
The user account must also be able to create a crontab entry.

Please create a new database in the current MySQL
server. Grant all access to that database to a username and password of
your choosing. Commands to create a database and grant all access to a
specific user can be found in the
MySQL documentation.

Installation Information

After you server meets the above requirements, please reply to your install ticket saying that you have met the requirements and have the following information ready when we contact you:

The SSH server IP or host address

The SSH password

We will email the above instructions to you after you purchase NATS.
